About MAGDRL NJ

The Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League, Inc. (MAGDRL) was organized in 1979 to serve the seven states of the Mid-Atlantic region. It now covers NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, VA, DC and WV..

The organization is a DC corporation and has a charitable tax-exemption under code 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code - 52-1177018.

MAGDRL is staffed completely by volunteers. Therefore, 100% of the funds donated to our organization are used to help our Great Danes. Like all humane groups, MAGDRL is in the unique position of helping both humans and pets. In our case, the pets are Great Danes and mixed Dane dogs, and the people are all those who have or want the companionship of the breed or often, just dogs in general.

MAGDRL helps Danes by:

Providing for the rescue and care of those who have been abandoned, neglected, and/or abused by their previous owners.

Spaying/neutering and providing any medical treatment necessary to return the Dane to good health.

Training/socializing to ensure that the Danes in rescue can adapt to new homes

Placing rescued Danes with people who will provide secure, loving and healthy homes.

To do this, MAGDRL screens the applicant and the home, checks references and enters into a legally binding agreement with the adopting family. We require that the rescued Dane be kept inside the house: a member of the family.
